Gill Treverton
Senior Academic Tutor
After 23 years' experience working in the NHS, I decided to pursue a career in teaching and am now Senior Academic Tutor at the University of Bedfordshire.
I have held various positions in the NHS:
- School nurse practitioner
- Nurse Specialist with the Youth Offending Service
- Community Development Officer
- Team Leader, Team Manager for School Nursing Service, and Operational Manager for 0-19 services
- Clinical Quality and Practice Development Nurse
- Advancing Clinical Practice Lead
Teaching and learning have always been important elements throughout my career, and therefore I am delighted to be able to pursue a career in this area.
I have many interests outside of my work, including amateur dramatics, painting, crafts, keeping up with technology and I love spending time in the open air and appreciating the natural world.
I have two beautiful grown up daughters, and live in a cosy old Edwardian terrace, which needs a lot of work so I may be adding DIY to my list of interests!
